I have two options: one departing at 10.45am (~50 min connection) or 12.45pm (2h50 connection).
I know that I should probably plan on taking the 12.45pm but my question is, what are the chances I can make the 10.45am one (assuming no checked bags)?
I realize you don’t need this anymore, but what I would probably do is

- try to maximize my sleep in J by skipping pre-arrival breakfast
- enjoy a leisurely breakfast somewhere at the airport after arrival (if flying J on LH, I have used the Arrivals lounge to get a hot shower before taking the train; not sure if it is open right now)
- take the later train and not worry about missing the earlier one
